Jonathan Morse, father of Abigail, wife of John3 Hapgood, was a son of Joseph3 and Susanna (Shattuck) Morse, grandson of Joseph2 and Hester (Pierce) Morse, of Watertown, and great-grandson of Joseph1 Morse, who arrived at Ipswich, Mass., in 1635 or 1636.

Charles Henry Taylor acquired his early education in the Charlestown public schools. In his fifteenth year he began to learn type- setting in a printing-office in Boston where the Massachusetts Ploughman and the Christian Register were set up. In 1861 he was em- ployed in the establishment of the Boston Traveller, working at different times in the composing-room, the press-room, and the mailing-room. In the summer of 1862 he

enlisted in Company F, Thirty-eighth Regi- ment, Massachusetts Volunteers, which was organized under the call issued July I for three hundred thousand men for three years, and which under Colonel Timothy Ingraham formed a part of General Banks's command, Department of the Gulf. Private Taylor was wounded at Port Hudson, June 14, 1863, and was honorably discharged on the eighteenth of December following. After his return to Bos- ton he again went to work on the Traveller. His connection with that paper lasted several years, during which time he mastered the art of shorthand writing, and became a steno- graphic reporter, doing some notable work in that line. He also gained a reputation as cor- respondent for the New York Tribune and the Cincinnati Times, his pen yielding him in his twenty-first year an income of four thousand dollars. His abilities became known outside of newspaper circles, and he made the acquaint- ance of leading politicians. He was appointed private secretary to Governor Claflin, January 1, 1869, and continued to hold that position and discharge its duties for three years, with- out withdrawing himself, however, from jour- nalism, his function as a newspaper correspond- ent being still kept up. During this period he was a member of Governor Claflin's mili- tary staff with the title of Colonel, and in 1891 he was appointed on Governor Russell's staff with the rank of General. In 1872 he served as Representative from the Fourth Mid- dlesex District in the State Legislature, and in January, 1873, was elected to succeed Will- iam S. Robinson ("Warrington ") as clerk of the House. In August, 1873, he became man- ager of the Boston Globe, then in the second year of its existence as a daily news sheet, and with a circulation of twelve thousand. After maintaining the Globe in a precarious exist- ence on the original plan nearly five years, he boldly ventured on a radical change of base and operations, reducing the price from three cents to two, and making the paper thoroughly democratic. This was in March, 1878, its new birthday being the seventh of the month. The appreciation of the public was shown in a most gratifying way. The daily circulation of the paper increased till in 1889 it reached

one hundred and fifty thousand, thus breaking the New England record. The following year showed an increase of over five thousand in the daily issue, the Sunday circulation being one hundred and forty-three thousand, seven hun- dred and seven. The gain steadily increased and in 1901 the circulation of the Daily Globe reached two hundred thousand and the Sun- day Globe two hundred fifty thousand. Gen- eral Taylor is a member of the Algonquin, Coun- try, Boston Art, and Eastern Yacht Clubs. He received the degree of Master of Arts from Dartmouth College in 1897.

He was married February 7, 1866, to Geor- gianna Olivia Davis, who was born in Charles- town, Mass., April 12, 1847, daughter of George W. and Lovilla (Simonds) Davis. They have five children, three sons and two daughters. Charles H. Taylor, Jr., the eldest, born October 2, 1867, in Charlestown, Mass., married December 2, 1890, Marguerite Falck, daughter of Eugene C. and Mary (Munn) Falck. They have two children: Doris, born October 25, 1893; and Charles H., third, born November 19, 1896. William O. Taylor, born January 8, 1871, at Nashua, N. H., mar- ried. March 28, 1894, Mary Moseley, daughter of Edward C. and Ellen Slade (Wheeler) Moseley. They have three children : Moseley, born January 30, 1895 ; Emma, born December 20, 1897; and Margaret, born September 3, 1900. Elizabeth Taylor, born April 30, 1873, married Horace D. Pillsbury, and has one child, Olivia, born March 27, 1899. John Irving, the younger son, born January 14, 1875, married October 12, 1896, Helen C. Burnap, daughter of U. C. and Harriet (Moore) Burnap, and has one daughter, Made- line, born August 13, 1900. Grace, born May 30, 1876, the youngest child, is at home with her parents. The three sons are associ- ated with their father in business.

GENEALOGY AND PERSONAL HISTORY

Frank L., a native of Germany, was b. on the banks of the Rhine, and there grew to man- hood. When a young man he was forced as a conscript into Napoleon's army, and this not- withstanding the fact that he was a widow's only son. After serving under the great com- mander seven years he came to America, and settled at Middlesex Village, where he found employment as a glass mixer in the pioneer glass factory of America. He was a devout Christian, and at one time preached in the Methodist church in Lowell. He m. Naomi Hunt, the daughter of Samuel Hunt, a cabinet- maker, said to have been the first one on what is now the site of the city of Lowell, near Paw- tucket Falls. Samuel H. Weaver in 1854 was a piano polisher, an employee of the Chickering Piano Company. In 1857 he engaged in the manufacture of waterproof horse covers, and also in the house painting business. In 1871 he established the roofing business now carried on by the firm of S. H. Weaver & Son, taking his son, Frank L., into partnership in 1874. The old firm name is still retained, though Mr. Samuel H. Weaver d. in 1890.

Frank L. Weaver was educated in the pub- lic schools of Chelmsford and at the Lowell Commercial College. In 1882 he married Harriet Eliza Mansur, who was born in Lowell, Mass., a daughter of Stephen C. and Ellen (Boyden) Mansur and a grand-daughter of the Hon. Stephen Mansur, who was Mayor of Low- ell in 1857. Mrs. Weaver died in April, 1900, aged forty-four years, leaving two chil- dren - Ellen Mansur and Alvah Hunt. Mr. Weaver early in life became identified with the Masonic Fraternity, affiliating with Kil- winning Lodge, of Lowell, of which he was Master three years. He is a Past High Priest of Mount Horeb, R. A. Chapter; Past Deputy Grand High Priest of the Grand Chapter of Massachusetts; Past Commander of Pilgrim Commandery of Knights Templar; and a life member of the Grand Commandery of Massa- chusetts and Rhode Island. Also a life mem- ber of Massachusetts Consistory, thirty-second degree. He gave freely of his time and en- ergy to the work of the order, being in office sixteen consecutive years.

Politically a Republican, he served on the

City Committee of that party nine years, being vice-chairman in 1890. He has been a mem- ber of the Fifth District Republican Congres- sional Committee ten years, and is now its chairman. For six years he has been a mem- ber of the board of Water Commissioners of the city of Lowell, and four years its chair- man, which office he still holds. During the years 1895, 1896, and 1897 he was president of the Builders' Exchange of Lowell, and al- ways an active member. He was one of the original members of the Highland Club, and is an original member also of the Vesper Coun- try Club. He has resided in Lowell all his life with the exception of the first three years, and is well and favorably known there.

TEPHEN O'MEARA, the publisher and editor of the Boston Journal, born in Charlottetown, Prince Ed- ward Island, July 26, 1854, is a son of Stephen O'Meara, Sr., a native of Ireland, who emigrated to America in 1832, at sixteen years of ago. His mother was born in New- foundland. The family came to Massachu- setts when he was ten years old. Having at- tended the Charlestown public schools for the ensuing eight years, he graduated from the high school in 1872. Yielding, no doubt, to a natural tendency, Mr. O'Meara's connection with journalism began on the day following that of his graduation, when he became a re- porter for the Boston Globe, then in the first year of its existence. In December, 1874, he left the Globe for the Journal, upon the staff of which he was offered a better position. At the end of five years spent in news, law, leg- islative, and City Hall reporting for the Jour- nal, he had so impressed his employers with his ability that he was made city editor. Two years later he was promoted to the post of news editor; and in June, 1891, when the late Colo- nel William W. Clapp retired from the duties of managing head of the paper, Mr. O'Meara became the editor and general manager. On January 1, 1896, with friends, he bought the paper ; and he has since been its publisher as well as its responsible head. In his individ- ual capacity he acquired a controlling interest

in the proprietorship in 1899. The Journal is regarded as the leading Republican newspaper in the State. Since it came into Mr. O'Meara's hands, it has been improved in many ways. Its Sunday issue, while presenting full news columns, also realizes the idea of an en- tertaining weekly magazine.

For five years Mr. O'Meara was a member of the executive committee and the treasurer of the New England Associated Press, and for the ensuing four years he was a director and the first vice-president of the national organ- ization, The Associated Press. He is now a director and a member of the executive com- mittee of that organization. Soon after its formation, he was elected president of the Bos- ton Press Club, and subsequently held the office for three years; and he was the president of the Charlestown High School Association for a like period. He is also a member of the Exchange, Algonquin, St. Botolph, and Union Clubs of Boston. Since 1890 he has been a trustee of the State Library. In 1888, Dart- mouth College honored him with the degree of Master of Arts.

A journalist of the first class and the master of a style at once trenchant and polished, Mr. O'Meara has proved that he can be an impres- sive public speaker. In 1900, by invitation of Mayor Hart, he was the Boston Fourth of July orator. On August 5, 1878, Mr. O'Meara was married to Isabella Mary Squire, a native of Cambridge, Mass. They have three children : Frances, born July 30, 1879; Alice, born April 12, 1887; and Lucy, born April 16, 1 890.

ARIUS RICHARD EMERSON, for many years a well-known retail mer- chant of Boston, was born in Wearc, N. H., November 8, 1823, and died at his home in Newton, Mass., May 28, 1900. Son of Samuel Emerson, he was a lineal descendant in the sixth generation of Robert Emerson, the immigrant progenitor of one branch of the Emerson family in America.

Robert Emerson was a pioneer settler of Essex County, Massachusetts, living in Row- ley as early as 1655. He removed to Haver-

hill, where he was made a freeman in 1668, and where he d. June 25, 1694. A recent genealogical writer thinks it somewhat probable that he was the Robert Emerson, eldest son of Thomas' and Elizabeth Emerson, who was baptized at St. Michael's Church, Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, England, May 24, 1612; m. there first, October 22, 1635, Eliza- beth Grave, who was buried at Bishop's Stort- ford, June 22, 1636; m., second, Frances; and (if it was the same Robert) m. thirdly, at Rowley, November 4, 1658, Ann Grant. The will of Robert Emerson, of Haverhill, was proved July 23, 1694. His children were : Elizabeth, b. in 1637; Thomas, probably he who was killed with wife and children by the Indians, March 15, 1697; Joseph, who was at Haverhill in 1674; Ephraim; Stephen, who removed to Pennacook (now Concord) in 1720; Benjamin; and Lydia. (See "The Ipswich Emersons," by Benjamin K. Emerson, page 21.) Thomas Emerson, of Bishop's Stort- ford, it should be added, has been identified with Thomas Emerson, one of the early settlers of Ipswich and founder of the Ipswich family of Emerson, the family to which Ralph Waldo Emerson belonged.

Stephen Emerson, first, b. in 1674, son of Robert, m. December 27, 1698, Elizabeth Dustin, and moved to Pennacook, now Con- cord, N. H., in 1720. Their son, Stephen, second, b. in Haverhill in 1701, was one of the signers of a petition to Governor Went- worth for the incorporation of Hampstead, N. H. About 1762, accompanied by his wife, Susan, and their four children - James, Ste- phen, Marden, and Sarah - he removed from Hampstead to Weare, N. H. Stephen Emer- son, third, who served in the Revolution and was known as Ensign, was b. at Hampstead in 1743, and d. at Weare in 1823. After the death of his first wife, Sarah, in 1777, he m. Judith Little. She d. in 1798.

Samuel Emerson, b. in Weare in 1785, son of Stephen and Judith, was a farmer, and also carried on an extensive business from 1810 until 1836 as a cabinet-maker, employing a number of workmen. In 1844 he removed to Manchester, N. H., where he d. June 3, 1847. His wife, formerly a Miss McAffee, of Bed-

Darius Richard Emerson engaged in the mercantile business when a young man, and after coming to Boston established a retail store, which he managed with such success that he became one of the most prominent retail merchants of the city. Since his death the store has been conducted by his elder son, Charles Walter. Mr. Emerson was twice married. His first wife, Hannah C. Gay, died in early life, leaving no children. On May 1, 1851, he married Henrietta Louisa Dearborn, who was born in Nashua, N. H., a daughter of Dr. Ebenezer and Hannah (Dyson) Dearborn. She died in Newton, Mass., May 7, 1900, three weeks prior to the death of her husband, leaving three children, as follows: Mary Dearborn, wife of Julian A. Mead, M.D., of Watertown, Mass .; Charles Walter, who is unmarried; and Frederick Weare, living at Tupper Lake, Adirondack Mountains, N. Y.

Mrs. Emerson was a descendant on her father's side of Godfrey Dearborn, said to have been a native of Exeter, Devonshire, England, who in 1639, shortly after his arrival in New England, went to New Hampshire, and was one of the founders of the town of Exeter, the settlement being made under the leadership of the Rev. John Wheelwright. After residing at Exeter (in the locality that is now Stratham) about ten years, serving as Selectman in 1648, Godfrey Dearborn settled in Hampton, N. H., where he d. February 4, 1686. The name of his first wife the mother of all his children,

He subse- quently attended medical lectures in Boston and at Dartmouth College, from which he received the degree of Doctor of Medicine in 1821. Settling in Nashua, N. H., in 1816, he continued in active practice there forty-five years, after which he lived retired until his death. In 1826 he m. Hannah Dyson, of Bev- erly, Mass. One of the children b. of their union was Henrietta Louisa, who became the wife of Darius R. Emerson.

ing largely in West India goods and farmers' produce. He was interested also in cotton mills at Lowell, Dover, and Great Falls, and in the Middlesex Canal. In the absence of savings-banks, he was often asked by poor women and others of moderate financial ability to keep their money for them. A man of the stanchest integrity, he enjoyed universal confi- dence and esteem. His first wife, Mary H. Fitch, b. in 1793, d. in 1820. His second wife was her elder sister, Hepsa Jones Fitch, b. June 21, 1790. They were daughters of John Brown Fitch and his wife Hepzibah Hall, daughter of Benjamin4.
